Solicitation or advertising of any business or organization on /r/eldertrees is prohibited. If you feel like you would be violating this rule in any way by posting, please message the moderators and give us an idea of your post and we can advise appropriately.

Drug test posts are prohibited. If you have any questions or concerns regarding a drug test, this has been discussed WAY too many times here, so for our megathread on the subject, CLICK HERE!!

Sharing pics of buds, memes, gifs, and/or comics related to cannabis is generally frowned upon unless you have a serious question about said content. Moderators reserve the right to remove a post if we feel the focus of your discussion is just to share such content. If you're posting images here, they should invite or encourage some kind of discussion. Strive for OC (original content) as much as possible.

Don't make posts calling out or “hating on” other subreddits. /r/eldertrees is awesome, we get it! But try to remember that your likes and dislikes are not the same as everyone else's- live and let live, ya dig?

Asking for a "hook up" or to "hang out" with any other ents in your area will result in post removal. This isn't a place to set up deals. Why even attempt this on the internet? You are setting yourself up for failure, or at least indulging in very risky and dumb behavior. Do that on your own time; offline!

I'm entirely surprised that Michigan isn't on this list. Especially with decriminalization in both Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids. Not to mention a 50something approval rate by the state's citizens and long-standing medicinal legalization.

It was close ( 47/53 split, or something? I can't remember) but I am slightly happy it didn't pass in the last election. It wasn't the right way to go about implementing the system and we'd be kicking ourselves now after seeing CO and WA push through more lenient laws with better regulation. I am by no means an expert on it but I could understand why a decent amount of pro-legalization people voted no.

Oregon is without a doubt one of the next states to make it happen though.

Yet liberals keep saying Arizona is a backwards state. Sure we've got a fair number of crazies (we have a huge population of crazy old people who vote Sheriff Joe back into office every election and a huge Mormon conservative population), but the rest of Arizona is mostly a huge Latino population, transplants from California and elsewhere and very, very progressive.

Even the conservatives in AZ are mostly pro-MJ. It's only the old folks who aren't really getting it. They still think it's the devil weed.
